To i iii:; E.16111' LION. LORD VISCOUNT LASTLEREAGEI, &c. LONDON, APRIL 10. 1,117,y Lo ß rl,—llis Britannic Maje,ty's Ministers were i;itorinvti since the month ot November, 1814, wissioo which brought the undersigned to L•> .d .n as Drputy from the General Government ht-• cont, derated provinces of New Granada, in Anwrica ; and although he was u►sfortu- not permitted to present the dispatches he io, \ ),:gi,t from tl►rtt Government for his 11.1ijesly inoi his Royal Highness the Pi ince Regent, nor th,ikt the other communications ‘vit II which he tvis charged, he thie not on that account con cvive himsrli the less bliged, multi' the extraor dmary circumstances of the present moment, and iii discharge of his duty, to address the present not e to your Excellency, for the parnose of being presented to the consideration of his Royal High ne,s the Prince Regent. It is a suhject of no.oriety, and has been pub lished throthout E'l rope that a negociatiou has exsted between trle Cabinets of London and Madrid, the result of which (the Spanish Govern ment not having been aide to obtain from Great I3titain the assistance required for the subjugation of America) has ultima . ely been to agree to a rue• diatioi , , to be proposed by t'ie five allied European Powers, in order to cause the cessation of the c‘rntest between Spain and America. The undersigurd has no doubt the Americans %yin bLiily appreciate, and receive with pleasure, - a inerliat ion of the principal Sovereigns of Europe, particularly that of England, it in this measure she has no other intercst than that of humanity, cruelly outraged by the horrors with which the Spani,rds have carried on a most destructive war on that Continent. But at the same time that he is convinced of the sentiments which animate his countrymen, and of -their most profound respect towards the august Monarchs who so truly interest themselves in the general repose of the world, and in restor ing to off] cted humanity the enjoyment of its rights, he mus , observe, that Spain, in the pre sent state of thiugs, wishing to maintain the op pressive system which she had established in Ame rica, and, carrying an a war of death or exter mination against its inhabitants, has lost the fa vourable opportunity of an accommodation, which might have prestrvcd her supremacy. Thtnefore • it is necessary that the King, Ferdinand, should renounce all hopes of sovereignty over those countries, if it is truth that be sincerely wishes to accept the mediation offered by the Sovereigns who have restored hint to his throne, in order to recover by it friendship and a good, lindeil.tanding with the Govertnnents of America ; because the cruel and unj , ist conduct observed towards America by all the Governments which :ticceeded each other iii Spain, front the establishment of the first revolutionary ior:t ko, it vink;to rue /American provinces in the alternative of being independent or destroyed, and no mediation will obtain the desired effect, unless it has for its basis the absolute emancipa tion to which they aspire. The undersigned does not conceive it necessary to explain the just motives which America has ever hied to complain of the constant oppression with which Spain has governed them ; because they are sufficiently notorious, and such as fully to justify the resolution they have taken to die or become independent. • Neither will he at present engage himself to show the series of extraordinary events, nor the nnjust pretensions by wi,ich Spain herself pro voked the revolution which was almost simulta- Denusly effected both in South and North Ame rica. Great Britain knows better t ban any other European Power, that the Amelicans, abandoned for many years to themselves, and to their olvti resources, solely with the wish to preserve them selves, and to escape the domination of Buonvarte, in the event of the subjugation of Spain, cook! only bare resolved to take up arms, for the sake of their own security and good government ; and that this necessary determination, just and laud able in itself, and wide!) did nut little con trilinte to impede the entire sahmission of the Peninsula to the Government of Joseph, was ill received by those who governed in the Island of Leon and Cadiz, who were desirous that Ame rica should remain passive, and follow the fate of Spain, whatever it might be, accompanying them in the yoke attacoed to the car of the triumpher. The undersigned will, however, record the great sacrifices made by the Americans in aid of their Ent opean brothers, in the war which they main tained against Napoleon—sacrifices ill requited, as EnglAnd well knows. He will also record the sincere oilers made by those provinces to maintain th e ms e lves always united with Spain, and the haughty disdain with which the latter disregarded and denied to America the participation of those natural rights conceded to uteri tinned in society. —The acts a the Cartes of Cadiz have proved,in the face of all Europe, how dittant was the me tropolis from treating them will] common de cency, without speaking of justice, at humanity; and that the rights of-20.000,000 of men were of less' weight in their unjust sc .le,,than the ambi tion to domlover over a vast extent of country, and reduce it to a desert. America, on twat occasion, did every thing re ply, c 1 by her love for her mother country ; while tire la - ter, establishing an unjust inequality, clash ing with the principles they proclaimed, and which they pretended exclusively to enjoy, was the first to provoke the diErences which )14,ng land in vain endeavoured to conciliate by her re peated and generous offers of mcdiation, and hich tvere fjteo refused through th e pitiful policy- of rile Governments which succeeded each (Ante in Spain. 'Thus it was, iliat rite mere act of the Ainericas n t i n ia la T O picsci ve union, awl to prutect them selves in toe Thi,'S! of most difficult elieurnstances V. ,•tier from political events at p i e dis tatice of 3000 Itague6 from Eutope, was after- wards conve!tea jou- , tormßi net of inaepen deuce, pronotmeed with all the necessary convic tion that t,,te was nothing further to be hoped front l a.tin , alt site might have ati4ito-; rated her own ins:it otions. In this state of things, Feidinand being re established on the throne of his ancestors, ail his efforts have been directed to thesubjug,ation of the country, without deigning to examine the cause of their complaint. 'Flo , Americans of the 19th century have been treated like the Indians of the sixteenth. The Spanish Generals have nei ther admitted parleys, nor - respected the rights of humanity with the pt isomers, although they might nut be prisoners of war. The execrable Morino. has destroyed whole provinces in New Granada and Venezuela, neither sparing; old men, women, nor children ; and whets he has scarcely left a single individual known by his talents and abili ties, or by his virtues, or by any useful profession, he has published an amnesty, in Which the Spa nish Government, insulting; both humanity and reason, .leaves an opening in order to dissemble its infraction under the most frivolous pretences. Such is a brief history of the late events in the confederated provinces of New Granada. They cannot expect the King of Spain will impose upon them a snore favourable yoke that' that which those, suffer in Europe who shed their blood to redeem him from captivity. Spain cannot make them happy, because she is not so herself ; nei ther can she offer security or protection to coun tries so vast and so remote, because she wants the necessary means for this purpose. Every Euro pean war obstructs their communications, hinders commerce, and submerges the Americas in an abyss of evil's which can no longer be tolerated by 20 millions of men, who know how to exist by themselves, who know their own rights, and who know how to respect those of others. These powerful motives will inevitably produce the absolute independence of AMerica : it is ne cessary for the Americans, convenient and useful to all nations of the world, without except lug Spain herself, if she wishes to know her true in terest. Therefore, the undersigned, in virtue of the full powers with which he is invested, and as a representative of the Confederated Provinces of New Granada, cannot do otherwise than protest, in the most solemn manner, against the opening of any negociation respecting the future fate of the Americas, without his being heard, and which has not for its basis their indepehdence ; and is desirous that this Protest be com►aion to all the Powers of Europe who are to take part in the mediation, although solely addressed ►o his Bri tannic Majesty's_Ministers, conceiving them to be the principal mediators, from their having offered to he so when the first occurrences took place; and has the honour to he, My Lord, • Your Lordship's most respectful and most obedient servant, A DEPUTY OF NEW GRANADA.

SOLEM Quis meElin FAI.SUM AUDEAT ? LONDON, 11.10ND,IY, AUGUST 3, 1818. We received yesterday the Paris Papers of Thursday last, and this morning those of T►iday. The former give long details of the hunting ex cursion at Itan►bouillet on Tuesday last, for which considerable preparations had been made. The KING, in a bunting dress, followed the chace a chaise. In the course of a previous hunt, very early in the morning, the Duke de BERRY and his attendants caught two deserters in the forest, to whom the KING subsequently, on coming out to the ellace, granted a pardon. His MAJESTY, on Wednesday morning, returned to St. Cloud, and afterwards presided at a Council-of Ministers. General. CANUEL is stated to have summoned M. de CH ABROL, formerly Prefect of the Inoue ; M. de STUTTER, Ex-Prevost of Lyons, and seve. cal others, to give evidence in his suit for ca lumny, which was to come on again on Saturday last. Mr.•PLAYFAIIt', the author of the article in Ga lignani's Messenger, which has been adjudged a libel upon the Countess de Saint Mom's, has been se►itenced by tl►e Tribunal of Correctional Police to three months' imprisonment, a tine of 3000 francs, and an interdiction of civil rights for five yoars. k rota Frankfort it is stated; that by the decision of the Diet, it has been arranged that the army of the Germanic Confederation 13 to consist of se veral . eorps, the composition of which is to be regulated by the Diet upon geographical and pO litical- bases. Austria; Prussia, and Bavaria, will each : form a separate corps, , the Commanders of which are to be appointed by those Powers re spectively. The contingents of the other Powers of Germany are to be formed into corps, but re specting the detail of this part of the arrangement the Diet have not yet decided. An article from Madrid mentions that the Ex- Governor of the Province of Grenada, the Count de MoNrizo, was under the surveillance of the military authority of Burgos, and was not allowed to go beyond the suburbs of the city. It is stated front Heidelberg, that it has been proposed to 'the Military Committee of the Diet of Frankfurt to erect without delay two ►►ew fortresses upon the tipper German Rhine, in order to complete the line of defence upon that river, but the decision of the question bad been delayed, chiefly upon the point of the expence. It is also said that Offenburg,three leagues from Kehl, is to be made a fortress of the first class, and that the fortifications of Old Brisac are to be restored. The king of PRUSSIA was to make a public entry into St. Petersburgh on the sth ult. The departure from Vienna of the Emperor and Empress of AUSTRIA is fixed to take place in the present month. They will not return till the middle of October.
